Begin your adventure with a guided tour of the bustling local market, where your host Joaquin will introduce you to the vibrant array of fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices. Engage with local growers and select the freshest ingredients for your cooking session.
After gathering your ingredients, head to the Cuscun Cooking School where you will be guided by a local chef. Under their expert instruction, you will prepare a variety of traditional Guatemalan dishes such as tamales, pepián (a flavourful meat stew), and chiles rellenos (stuffed chillies). Learn the secrets behind these beloved recipes and enjoy the process of creating authentic meals from scratch.
The experience concludes with a communal meal where you can savour the fruits of your labour. Enjoy the delicious dishes you have prepared, accompanied by local drinks. The class ends at the cooking school, leaving you free to explore more of Antigua or return to your accommodation at your leisure.
